As an introduction to different animals living in the wild, this series offers simple text combined with close-up photographs. We see animals hunting, rearing their young and adapting to their environment – in the case of bears, preparing to hibernate for the winter or, for leopards, settling down to sleep in a tree in the heat of the day. We also learn of the risks presented by these animals when they stray too close to human civilisation, and the importance of maintaining their natural habitats. Written by an education officer of the WWF backed by specialist consultants, the series carries the endorsement of the WWF and a clear message that we have a responsibility to ensure the survival of each species. Useful child-friendly website addresses are included, as well as lists of further reading and other sources of information, making this a useful addition to the primary library.
